Early Education

Sisu is an integrated early learning school focusing on the development of the whole child. All children receive a general developmental assessment within the first 45 days of enrollment based on Georgia Early Learning Development Standards (GELDS). Tracking and evaluation of student progress using a portfolio system are ongoing throughout the program year.  Parents receive four progress reports per year. Staff utilizes a variety of educational resources as well as enrichment programs to create the optimal educational experience for children.

Sisu is Accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools (SACS), Quality Rated, and licensed by Bright From the Start. We use the Creative Curriculum to support lesson plans as well as the Seedlings Character Education curriculum.
